JACKSON, Miss. -- Coming off of their first loss of the 2019 season, the Millsaps College football team returns home this weekend for a matchup with the Colonels of Centre College.

The Colonels are receiving votes in the most recent AFCA NCAA Division III Top-25 Poll. 

Last Time Out
Last weekend, the Millsaps College football team went on the road for the first time in Southern Athletic Association play. The Majors traveled to Georgia for a matchup with No. 10 Berry College. 

The host Vikings led 3-0 at the halftime break, and used a pair of big plays in the 3rd quarter to capture the momentum in the 31-14 win. 

The first loss of the season drops the Majors to 3-1 overall on the year. They are now 1-1 in league play. 

Saturday: Centre College (2-2, 0-2 SAA), 1:00 p.m., Harper Davis Field
The Colonels enter Saturday's matchup off of a pair of identical, 20-13 losses to SAA opponents. Centre dropped their conference opener on the road at Austin College, and last week suffered a loss to Trinity University. 

Key Players for the Colonels

A pair of sophomores, Patric Edwards and Dameon Jones lead the Centre ground attack with a combined 722 yards and five touchdowns. Edwards leads the team in both of those categories.
